Who This Is Actually For
Look, if you've been out of the Call of Duty loop for a cycle or two, Black Ops 7 is a decent re-entry point. The Black Ops sub-series has always leaned harder into story and atmosphere than the more anonymous Modern Warfare entries, and that holds here. Campaign fans will feel at home. If you're purely a battle royale person, though, this probably isn't going to shift your habits much.
The Amazon-exclusive bonus content is worth a mention - not because it's life-changing, but because it's a genuinely nice extra rather than the usual bit of tat. Cosmetic bonuses, mostly, but the kind that actually feel considered rather than slapped on.
The Bit That Matters on PS5
Personally, what gets me with the PS5 version is the DualSense integration. Resistance on the triggers during certain weapons feels properly satisfying in a way that's hard to describe until you've felt it. Playing a firefight with full haptic feedback on is one of those small things that makes you remember why the hardware upgrade was worth it.
My one honest reservation: if you already sank hours into Black Ops 6 and felt a bit fatigued, this won't necessarily reinvigorate you overnight. It's a strong entry, not a complete reinvention.
The Price Question
At around 20 quid, this is spot on for what you're getting. Full game, exclusive content, no subscription nonsense required. The HotUKDeals community clearly agrees, given the heat score. Just don't sleep on it if you're interested - stock on this kind of deal has a habit of vanishing quickly.
